What if you didn’t have to show up on social media every day to grow your business?

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the algorithm or like posting content is just one more thing on your to-do list (and not even a fun one), this episode is your permission slip to rethink your strategy.

In this episode, I sat down with Amelia Hruby — feminist writer, podcaster, producer, and founder of Softer Sounds podcast studio — to unpack what it really looks like to build a sustainable, profitable business off social media.

We talked about what happens when you stop relying on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, the emotional rollercoaster that can come with leaving, and the real-life marketing strategies Amelia uses to grow without a single post or Reel.

Spoiler: you don’t have to quit cold turkey, and no, your business won’t wither away if you take a break from posting.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

• Why social media isn’t the magic client magnet you’ve been led to believe it is
• How to create an off-ramp that gently transitions your audience off social
• The 3 biggest mistakes people make when leaving social media (and how to avoid them)
• What to replace your social media presence with so your business can keep growing
• The surprising emotional toll of quitting social and what to expect
